Assistance programs in Texas

[Linda]

I'm a full time student at a college. I am trying to get a nursing degree. Unfortunately my baby's father just got laid off and we had to move out of our own place to go stay with my dad in Texas. My dad is currently laid off from school after working with schools for eleven years. So its being hard on my dad to let us stay at his house. My partner is currently looking for a job so we can pay rent. I just hate that we are trying to do the best in life which is getting an education for me and to provide my child in all needs.I really hate to ask for assistance, but unfortunately the ways things are going with my family it is really the only thing that can help.

I am Trying To Find Help To Pay My Rent. I am Behind 2 Months. My Rent Is $550.00 A Month. I Have Spoken to My landlord But He Wants His Money. I Have Contacted The Salvation Army, Catholic Charities And The Stated There Is no Funding. I Was Also Given The 2-1-1 Texas Number. They Gave Me the Community Action Partners Number Here In Fort Worth. I have Been Trying To Get through To That Number for One week. The Only Thing That Answers the Phone Is The Answering Machine Stating That The Person At This Number Is Not Accepting Calls.
If I Sound Frustrated It Is Because I am. I am Hurting Inside. You Hear About All Of These Facilities That Will Help But When You Go to Them It Is a Different Story All Together. Actually
2-1-1 Texas That Other People Had Complained About The Community Action Partners Number Because No One Can Get Through. So That says That I am Not The Only One. Please Help Me, Please.

Hello,

I am sorry to bother you but...I've been to your site and have had limited luck. I've been to each and every site and it seems it is just a long trail back to square one. I don't mind doing my homework if it nets results but I'm tired. I am disabled and need temporary help paying the most basic of bills for a few months until my wifes teaching job begins.

I have contacted Tri_County, Love INC and many clones of such who say.."we can't help if you're not in crisis!" Well, I at the edge of crisis. It's affecting my marriage, my life and my sanity. Is there anyone out there who can help without the onset of a 3 ring circus. I hate being treated as if I'm trying to sucker someone. I hate being legit to be judged otherwise.

Where is a website that has really good and productive information. The web is cluttered with so much of the same. Someone needs to put together one that works. With links that provide results.

Regards,

I have no idea where to start looking for help over here, when i wasn't receiving social security i still couldn't find anybody, my landlord worked with me till my checks started coming in, and after catching up, i need 1 month of help till i get my next check, i have tryed charities over here but no one has had funds. i used some of the money to go to hunstville for an execution, and then there was a stay of execution, my son was murdered in 1998. if any one knows where i can get help for one month, please let me know.?
